Siem Reap
Siem Reap was once the seat of power of the great Khmer Empire, which owns the most ornate temples, it has become the most popular tourist destination for those taking Cambodia tours. Its streets are crowded day and night with tourists and a non-stop party atmosphere. But what is perhaps most surprising is that Siem Reap has somehow retained much of its original small-town charm.
Let’s discover with Lua Viet Tours to see what’s interesting here!
Angkor Wat
Experience local culture by riding a tuk tuk along every corner of the streets and visiting Angkor Wat. The vast religious complex of Angkor Wat, the world’s largest religious structure, marks the high point of Khmer architecture, comprising more than a thousand buildings, and it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Bayon Temple: A temple with many faces
At the heart of Angkor Thom is the 12th-century Bayon, the mesmerizing, if slightly mind-bending, state temple of Jayavarman VII. Famous carvings on the first floor’s outside wall depict vivid scenes of ordinary life in Cambodia in the 12th century.
Ta Prohm Temple
Undoubtedly the most atmospheric ruin at Angkor. The jungle is literally growing through the middle of the temple, which also adds intrigue and wonder to this amazing site. Ta Prohm is on most people’s “bucket list” of temples in Siem Reap, so make sure that you don’t miss it.
Night market
Enter the vibrant world of the Siem Reap night market, where the charm of Cambodian culture combines with the excitement of souvenir hunting.
